The sfnpion Railway.

-.
The commission appointed to investi-
gate the project Of the Simplon Railway
estimate that the line from Viege to the
italian frontier, distance Of fifteen
and a half miles, will cost in round
figures f2, 100000 if the tunnel be for
a single line only, and f2,500,0 600 if
the tunnel be for double line. These
estimates include the approaches to the.
tunnel, the custom-house buildings at
Viege; thirteen locomotives. estimated
at 80, 800 each and special reserve
fund for unforeseen difficulties which
might arise in consequence of the high
temperature in the tunnel during con-
struction. But the estimates do not
include the cost Of raising capital and
paying interest during construction.
The commission recommend as suit
able section for the tunnel: For
single line21 feet high and Is feet
wide; for double ine-27 feet wide,
the cross-sectional areas being $50
square feet and $50 square feet respec-
lively. is estimated that six years
will be required for the construction Of
the tunnel if no, unforeseen difficulties
occur, but If the latter should be the
case the commission do not think that
the time would exceed eight and a half
years. In dasst7ies.

Tricks of the Italian nIiIkman

! noticed for some days that my milk
was very, very thin. I had stood by
whilst it was MIXED; what, then, could
be the causep Was it that the COWS
drank too much waterp would have
been compelled to adopt this solution
.butSfor discovery that soon happened
When i came across my coWman the
second or third evening he was milking
for an italian, and was surprised
when / saw this latter suddenly step up
to the cowman and squeeze him by the
arm. As surprising as was this action.
however, the result was still more So
a stream of water was elected from the
coWman's sleeve, and I then understood
how milk can be Watered before ones
very eyes without ones detecting it. I
happened to mention this incident to
the American Consul, and he assured
me the trick was quite common. A
bag Of water is kept under the coat and
let down into the cup through rubber
tube in the sleeve. When detected, a
shrug of the shoulders, a ssSanta Maria,
what diference?'' and pure milk for
the sharp eye; when not detected, he
laughs in his sleeve as he lets the water
down through his sleeve and sells it to
you at SIX cents a quart Rome Letter.

To Scare Away Snakes.

a gentleman who recently returned
from the Western coast Of Africa tells
how natives provide against the dangers
of Yenomous snakes which abound in
those regions. The Africans on the
coast, = he said. are far more intelligen
than those in the interior. just south
of the Republic OF Liberia there is a
large sWampy region which extends for
hundreds Of miles into the interior and
for many miles along the coast. When
ever It is deemed necessary to penetrate
this vast morass, which abounds In
snakes, the natives simply rub the soles
OF their feet with garlic and oil. The
scent OF the garlic is too much for the
delicate stomach Of the reptiles, and
they crawl away as fast as they are
able. This insures almost absolute
safety. The boa-constrictor even
hesitates to attack man smelling Of
this odoriferous vegetable. Another
method employed by the natives when
they wish to sit to rest is to swish the
air with rods. The peculiar noisc of
the rod seems to inspire the serpents
with terror; for they hasten away out
OF hearing OF the sound. ''New York

Abby Kelley,s Thanksgiving.

In April, 1861, Gen. Cox and Cen.
Garfield were nnembersof the Ohio SEN
ate and were lodging together. The
day that Fort Sumter was fred on the.
Senate was in session when member
came from the lobby in an excited
manner, and, catching the Chairman's
eye, exclaimed, Mr.. President, the.
telegraph announces that the Secession
lists are bombarding Fort Sumter.
There was a solemn and painful hush,5
broken in a moment by a woman s
shrill voice from the spectators seats,
crying, .tGlory to God. 2 This was the
voice Of Abby Kelly Foster, a radical
friend of the slave, who believed that
only through blood could his freedom
be won, and she shouted the fierce cry
of JOY. Boston Commonwealth.
